Rita’s POVI had no other conversation with Finn that day neither did he leave his office at all, not even during lunch period; he didn't show up at the restaurant. Poor Mr CEO, he must cried his heart out but one thing I am so sure of is that he will get over it eventually because that's how unrequited love works.I remember when I lost all contact with Jared, it felt like a one - sided love. Imagine being in love with someone but unable to hear from him, talk more of being sure if he still feels the same way for you. It's like I was left alone in a relationship and I already got over him already, I moved on. Finn had better move on too. It's just a matter of time.“You’re really not mad that I literally caused this silent treatment between you and Finn” Evelyn asked again for the zillion time that day while we were waiting at the bus stop.“I will eventually get this silent treatment from him one day because I was gonna turn him down atlas and let him know that I have a boyfriend. Y
Rita’s POV“I don’t know what’s wrong with me Zane, my body is vibrating” I managed to send him a message even under such a condition.“You wanna see more? Deeper? Should I take off the panties?” Zane asked.“No” I replied immediately.“Why not?"“Zane, I am not myself at the moment. My body feels strange. I’m not sure of what I might do to myself if you show me more than just your abs” I typed, avoiding to use the rated private part words.“Alright, I am sorry” “I understand you Rita, you are almost Wet” He figured, mentioning that same word I found difficult to utter.I swallowed my saliva really hard; I couldn’t type anything.“Let us discuss something else, it will make you feel better. Infact, you will suddenly forget you once felt this way” He assured me.“I’m sorry Zane if I didn’t turn out to be the kind of nasty girl you want, maybe we could do this again but once in a blue moon. As in, I’ll surprise you, boom! with my s*xy pictures” I promised.“That sounds very romantic. I l
Finn reluctantly did like his brother had said; he hesitated a little before he resumed. “I figured Rita has a boyfriend so she won't date me” Finn cried out. “Oh! Your poor heart!” Alex consoled. “But you are the love doctor!” “Funny how I cannot solve my own love life yet I can predict when two people are meant for each other, I also know when someone is in love with me; but the look in her eyes says she doesn't love me one bit Alex. Rita is in love with someone else” “Sorry. Maybe it failed when it revealed to you that Rita is yours” Alexander indirectly redicled him “No” Finn barked. “It has never for once failed me. Maybe this means she will come back to me finally but this is so heartbreaking that she will waste precious time with her so called boyfriend but, I will make sure that she's mine, she mustfall in love with me” Finn stumped his feet against the ground. “Uhm, Okay. Let's see if you can do that" Alex doubted him. “And what are you still doing here?” Finn suddenly
Rita’s POVIt was Evelyn; I heaved a sigh of relief, somehow I thought it was Finn because he visited me last weekend.“Hello Bestie” Evelyn jumped into my arms.“Hi Evelyn” I responded sheepishly disengaging myself from her.“Why do you still look surprised to see me here, I already informed you earlier when I was at the nearest junction” She said.“You didn't inform me that you were already at the nearest junction, I thought you’ld arrive later in the day” I replied.My phone buzzed, it was Zane. He called to ask of who visited me.“It was Evelyn, I didn't know she will be here so soon. Talk to you later my love" We disconnected the call.“I’m guessing, you just finished speaking with Zane” Evelyn chipped in.“Of course, who else? We were gonna converse all day but looks like your presence here has disrupted our plan” I told her.“Oh sorry. I should not be here too but Adam’s out. I don't know where he went to and besides, it’s been a while I came over to your place. You don't have
Rita’s POVI spoke to an immigration officer later that day whom rendered a detailed procedure on how to travel to my preferred country. I had also paid every single dime he demanded for in order to make the means rapid since I really wanted to be in Canada this week or latest during the weekend.I kept it a secret away from Zane while we had our usual random chat and somehow, he observed that there was something I didn't wanna reveal but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.“You have been a little tensed since Evelyn left your place, why?” He inquired.“Really? Tensed? I don't know what you’re talking about Zane. I am only just being myself” I buffed.“Nope sweetheart, there is something you are not telling me. Why did Evelyn come visiting? What did she say to you?” He asked.“Oh stop tryna poke nose! Evelyn and I discussed about girly stuff, I am so glad she came over here today” I said.“Hmmn” He maffled.“You think it has something to do with you?”“I don't know” He answered.“No it d
Rita’s POVWhen I arrived at the office the following day, I met Evelyn and Adam who informed me that Finn had just returned to his office, and he has been at our department waiting for my arrival.Deja Vu! Finn was always expecting me.I knew he was eager to hear what I wanted to tell him, so I went to meet him.“Good morning Finn” I greeted right from the door before moving closer to him.“Have your seat, make yourself comfortable Rita” He said, leaned forward a little to adjust the seat.“I hope you have come to give me good news” He asked immediately after I settled down.“Ugh!” Oh jeez, he thinks I have come to say yes to him.Oh no, never.“Uhm, it’s actually a request that I really hope you would grant” I pleaded.“Say it out already. I am the boss, is there anything I cannot do? for you?”I smiled a little then continued freely:“I have come to request for a leave of absence” I said, slowly sliding the neatly folded letter on the table towards him“A leave of absence ?” He was
Rita’s POVWhen I returned to our department, it was already late to discuss with Evelyn whom was already working and I had my own clients waiting. So we had to wait till lunch break…“You spent like forever in his office, we were waiting for you” Evelyn beckoned me after the waiter served us our order.“What did you say to him? ‘Yes, I'll date you’?” Adam quoted.“No. That's what he thought actually” I gave a short laugh.“Rita will only date one guy which is Zane even in her next life” Evelyn teased.“So uhm, what were you guys discussing in his office?” Adam gaped at me.“I requested for a leave of absence which he hesitated to approve but thanks to my beautiful face which captured his heart, he finally approved my request” I announced to them excitedly.“Finn approved it?” Adam and Evelyn exclaimed.“Oh My God, I am so happy for you” Evelyn clapped her hands.“Hold on guys; you ladies have left me in the dark Why did you request for a leave of absence for the very first time since
Rita’s POVI felt relieved throughout the rest of the day because of the fact that I won't be at work for two good weeks; away from stress, toxic older colleagues and away from CEO Finn.Evelyn and Adam walked with me to the bus stop so they could extend their farewell.“I’m amazed Finn didn't come bid you Bye before we left the office” Evelyn broke the silence.“Poor lover boy, well there were so many clients and visitors today, so he didn't have to chance to express his feelings for me for the next zillion time” We laughed out loud.“Yeah, poor billionaire CEO” Adam said; “I do not like him one bit ever since he flirted with my Evelyn and maltreated you Rita”“That was a misunderstanding Adam, and it’s bygone, you should like him now. Aside his sudden feelings for Rita, Finn is a good man” Evelyn retorted.“Uhm, well once I dislike one already, it’s very much difficult for me to like the person even if he’s changed”I huffed; “Even Zane, a winning rival is not so mad at Finn like you
